Have you ever met someone—feathered, furry, or otherwise—that just instantly brightened your day, no matter the mood you were in?
Let me introduce you to Cumulus, a cockatoo with a story that tugs at the heartstrings of anyone who’s ever loved a bird.
Cumulus’s journey, as shared by GeoBeats Animals on YouTube, is not just a tale of the joy and sass that birds bring into our lives, especially cockatoos with their larger-than-life personalities.
Cumulus’s story begins on a somber note—he was abandoned and brought to a clinic suffering from a host of health issues, including a cloacal prolapse, among other complications.
Over time, and through the dedication of vets like Julie and Brian Speer, Cumulus underwent multiple surgeries.
Slowly the vibrant personality hidden beneath his ailments was unveiled.
Cumulus, despite his health struggles, is described as “absolutely incredible… the level of sass is fantastic. The attack on the penn drawer got me. 😂😂😂😂”
Indeed, it’s their cheeky antics and mischievous behaviors that often bring laughter and lightness into our lives, reminding us not to take everything so seriously.
One viewer shared a touching story that resonates with anyone who’s opened their home and heart to a feathered friend:
“He’s telling you his name is Eric. I rescued an African Meyer’s Parrot whose owner died and I started calling her Kiwi because we didn’t know what her name was. After a while she started calling out the name ‘Cokey’. I then started calling her Cokey and she would become excited and calling out Cokey with enthusiasm. Poor baby, I love her so very much. ❤” This narrative echoes the deep, personal connection we form with our avian companions, recognizing their identities and respecting their pasts.
Another viewer couldn’t help but gush over Cumulus’s endearing quirks: “Him whispering back is, i think, the cutest thing I’ve ever seen.” It’s these little moments of mutual understanding and shared secrets that deepen the bonds between birds and their humans, revealing a level of intelligence and emotional depth that is truly remarkable.
A sentiment many of us can echo comes from a viewer who was moved by Cumulus’s story:
“Oh my goodness! What an absolutely precious bird, so beautiful, smart, a tad naughty, and incredibly full of joy. Thank you for sharing this little guy with a big character and a Veterinarian Clinic full of angels with big hearts. ❤”
This comment captures the essence of what it means to care for a bird like Cumulus—not just the responsibility for their physical well-being, but the joy of witnessing their personalities unfold and flourish.
Cumulus’s story is a ray of hope and happiness for anyone who’s had the pleasure of a bird’s company.
Through all the ups and downs, Cumulus continues to sing his song, a melody of survival, sass, and the sheer joy of living.
So, to all my fellow bird lovers and to those who’ve yet to discover the delight of bird companionship, let’s take a page from Cumulus’s book and find a reason to sing, no matter what challenges we might face.
